  • Page 70: Front And Rear Disc Brake

    Front and rear disc brake The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect on the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presence of air in the braking circuit or a failure in the braking system.

  • Page 71: Puncture

    ORDER TO AVOID THIS, WE RECOMMEND WASHING THE VEHICLE FRE- QUENTLY WHEN RIDING IN THESE ROAD CONDITIONS. Puncture The vehicle is equipped with tubeless tyres (without inner tube). In the event of a puncture, contrary to the situation with a tyre with inner tube, the tyre deflates more slowly, resulting in a greater steering safety.
